Grading Bush On His European Trip
President Bush deserves an “A” from Americans for his five-nation European tour because he stood firm for the U.S. positions on missile defense, the Kyoto Protocol, capital punishment, and non-involvement in expanded military engagements.

Continue reading →United Nations Attack On Gun Ownership
The attempt this year to reprise last year’s Million Mom March was a dud, attracting only about 200 demonstrators, and the Democrats’ political gurus are whining about how Al Gore’s pro-gun-control stance cost him votes last year in crucial states.
Continue reading →Free Trade Is An Economic, Not A Moral, Issue
Most conservatives are so happy that we now have a President who has restored dignity to the White House. We are pleased that he brings a moral dimension to his actions and isn’t squeamish about acknowledging his religious faith.

Santa Rosa (CA) High School held a “Week of Diversity” on April 9-13 that included 82 presentations by outside speakers. The announcement letter sent to parents permitted them to opt out their children, but said the event was “essential to the exposure and understanding of important topics and teen issues not normally taught in our public school system.”
Continue reading →The Importance Of The English Language
The case called Alexander v. Sandoval involved a Spanish-speaking woman, Martha Sandoval, who demanded that Alabama give her the state driver’s license test in Spanish. Alabama refused, based on the section added to Alabama’s Constitution in 1990 declaring English “the official language of the state of Alabama.”
Continue reading →Daycare Bombshell Hits The "Village"
The advocates of “it takes a village to raise a child” are having a rough month. They are scurrying around trying to come up with arguments to refute the new study showing that children who spend most of their time in daycare are three times as likely to exhibit behavior problems in kindergarten as those who are cared for primarily by their mothers.

The incident in the China sea has made it clear to those who did not want to admit it that China isn’t a strategic partner after all.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Utah is preparing to challenge a district court decision that properly found the state’s new official English law constitutional.
Continue reading →Better Research About Drugs Needed
Our fight against illegal drugs is severely weakened by the common claim that marijuana (also called pot) is relatively harmless. Research on marijuana in the 1970s, supported by the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), proved that pot is highly dangerous.
Continue reading →Americans Need a Tax Cut Now
The IRS tax collector, using the police power of the government, takes a big slice of your income while sweet-talking you with the lie that this organized theft is really an investment (even though it will rapidly vanish rather than grow).

When President George W. Bush gets around to appointing federal judges, the issue of parental rights should be a major criterion.
Continue reading →Death Tax Deception
Instead of the present plan to cut the death tax rates for all in small incremental steps stretched out over many years, President Bush and Congress should compromise by raising the exemption to $10 million.

Back in the olden days of the Cold War, a favorite sport of the liberals was to accuse conservatives of seeing imaginary spies and traitors under the bed. Who could have predicted that a real spy named Robert Hanssen and a traitor named Marc Rich would be dominating big- media headlines in 2001?
Continue reading →The Hidden Meaning Of Marriage Tax Repeal
The marriage tax is not verbally expressed as policy in any statute but is buried in the numbers. It is a consequence of the fact that our income tax tables treat a married couple as only 1.67 persons instead of two whole persons.

In earlier, simpler times, medical privacy was no problem. Your doctor recorded the date of your visit and his diagnosis and prescriptions in his inimitable illegible handwriting and put it safely in a manila folder where only he or his nurse would ever see it and nobody else could possibly read it.

Tests, standards and accountability are being advocated as the solution to the problems of public school education.

Liberals have long realized that, if they can win the battle over what is taught in schools, they will win elections. While they claim to believe in free speech, they often have little tolerance for alternate points of view in the schools.

Two controversial California state laws, enacted last year by a one-vote margin and effective on New Year’s Day, mandate “diversity” teaching at all grade levels in order to promote tolerance of diverse sexual orientation.

Denmark has been in the forefront of European efforts to encourage easy immigration and integration of immigrants with the native-born population. Denmark spends one percent of its GNP on foreign aid, the highest per capita in the world.

A recent issue of JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association, 12-27-00) reports on a Centers for Disease Control (CDC) study that supports the widespread policy of forcing all children to be vaccinated in order to enter daycare or school.

In an era when we have endured so much scandal, so much embarrassingly improper behavior by high public officials, one might have reasonably predicted that Senator John Ashcroft would be the least controversial of all George W. Bush’s Cabinet nominations.
